milky bath
By taking the milk straight from the fridge the coolness will help to soothe the heat and the milk will then create an extra layer of protein on the skin to help protect it.If you don’t want to sit in a bath of milk, try getting a flannel and soaking it in milk.
Lay the flannel across the inflicted area and let the milk soak in.
patting potatoes
Take a couple of potatoes, and cut them into small pieces.Place them in a blender, and blend.
Once they are in a liquid form, pat the burned area with the potato mixture.
Let it all dry and then take a bath to get it all off.
The potatoes are said to be great for pain relief.
vinegar
This sounds super painful, putting vinegar onto sunburn.However, people for hundreds of years have used vinegar to help heal the skin.
There is no research to show us what it is that helps heal the skin but after taking a cool sh0wer, spraying apple cider vinegar onto the area and letting it dry apparently helps the skin to heal.
corn-starch mixture
This works well with corn-starch or baking soda. Adding water and mixing until reaching a paste like consistency.Put this onto the burn and leave until the pain has lessened.
Make sure you rinse it off thoroughly.
Both of these can help rid the pain and also have an ability of lessening the redness.
Porridge
It has been said that avenanthramides, which is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound found in oats helps to soothe the skin.Ground a cup of unflavored oats until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Add this to some bath water.
Make sure to rub the mixture over the burn also and wash off thoroughly.
Frozen veg.
By simply going to the freezer, grabbing a big bag of frozen peas, sweetcorn or whatever it is that takes your fancy.Wrapping that in a tea towel, and placing it on the burn.
The coolness will help to soothe and relax the burned area.
However, you may have to move it every so often to stop you going numb and maybe replace the veg for a different one before it defrosts completely.
cold ice cube
Take an ice cube or a few ice cubes and place them into a small cloth so they don’t stick to your skin.Rub this on the inflicted area and replace as and when it is needed.
This will help to soothe and cool the area.
Yoghurt
Using non-fat yoghurt and applying it to the area is a natural and relaxing way to deal with sunburn.Again this is another one that will make you look very strange if any one sees you, however you will get immediate pain relief from that lovely yoghurt.
Lettuce
Grab some lettuce out of the fridge and boil the leaves in water.Let the liquid cool in the fridge for several hours and then apply to the skin.
This will help soothe the sunburn.
Tea bags for your eyelids
By letting the tea bags soak in cool water, this lets the tannic acid in black tea to be released.Then simply place the teabags on the eyelids.
This will help reduce swelling created by sunburn and will remove the heat and pain you are feeling.
